Where you know, bike riders don't need to abide by the normal transportation rules. Where you know, bike riders don't need to abide by the normal transportation rules. You know, I mean, going along those lines, it would be kinda smart to do, for Lift, to go for something like this.

Like, so for bike commuters in New York, like me for example. I travel up and down Manhattan everyday. I travel up and down Manhattan everyday. If someone needs a package picked up on my way home, and the delivery spot is in the lower east side where I live. If someone needs a package picked up on my way home, and the delivery spot is in the lower east side where I live. Why not, I would do this for a couple extra bucks.

Alright, I'll let it [CROSSTALK] Alright, I'll let it [CROSSTALK] I remember one time I took an Uber cab, and this is like, kinda related. I remember one time I took an Uber cab, and this is like, kinda related. But I, I got an Uber driver and I was talking to him along the way to my destination, and he told me that, a lot of Uber drivers are hired by parents. But I, I got an Uber driver and I was talking to him along the way to my destination, and he told me that, a lot of Uber drivers are hired by parents. To take their kids to school in the morning.

I mean, the cost is pretty low, if you live close to the school and you have to get somewhere. I mean, the cost is pretty low, if you live close to the school and you have to get somewhere. He said oh, a big chunk of his time in the morning is spent taking kids to and from school. He said oh, a big chunk of his time in the morning is spent taking kids to and from school. And then also in the afternoon, of course. And then also in the afternoon, of course. That's funny. That's funny. That seems like a lot of money to spend to send your kids to school everyday. That seems like a lot of money to spend to send your kids to school everyday. Yeah rich kid. Yeah rich kid. I mean you pay, 25 bucks to have someone walk your dog every day. I mean you pay, 25 bucks to have someone walk your dog every day. I do not. I do not. Not you, but, people in Manhattan. Not you, but, people in Manhattan. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. You pay 20 bucks. You pay 20 bucks. That's, almost as bad. That's, almost as bad. I pay less than that. I pay less than that. Less? Less? Yes sir. Yes sir. So Hoboken prices are a little cheaper. So Hoboken prices are a little cheaper. Hoboken, yes. Hoboken, yes. [LAUGH]. [LAUGH]. Alright, what, what do you, what do you wanna tackle next? Alright, what, what do you, what do you wanna tackle next? alright. alright. Let's talk about feeling aggressive after playing video games. Let's talk about feeling aggressive after playing video games. Okay. Okay. I wanna ask you about this, clearly I don't play a lot of games, so [CROSSTALK] I wanna ask you about this, clearly I don't play a lot of games, so [CROSSTALK] You don't and we've talked [CROSSTALK] this topic, we've the age old topic. You don't and we've talked [CROSSTALK] this topic, we've the age old topic. Yeah, the age old topic, do video games beget aggressive behavior? Yeah, the age old topic, do video games beget aggressive behavior? Right Right And the answer is yes. And the answer is yes. But not because of the violent content, and that's what this study is proposing. But not because of the violent content, and that's what this study is proposing. The researchers over at The Oxford Internet Institute, which is actually a place, I didn't realize you could study there. The researchers over at The Oxford Internet Institute, which is actually a place, I didn't realize you could study there. They're basically trying to conduct a study to figure out whether violence from video games and aggressive behavior is caused by the content itself, or game play mechanics. They're basically trying to conduct a study to figure out whether violence from video games and aggressive behavior is caused by the content itself, or game play mechanics. So this is kind of interesting to do this. So this is kind of interesting to do this. They set up this study where they set up a modified version of Half-Life two, right. They set up this study where they set up a modified version of Half-Life two, right. It's Half-LIfe two, you can explain this better than I can. It's Half-LIfe two, you can explain this better than I can. It's a first, it's a classic first person shooter that's like 11 years old. It's a first, it's a classic first person shooter that's like 11 years old. Yeah, a first person shooter game, but it sort of heralded like that question. Yeah, a first person shooter game, but it sort of heralded like that question. Cuz it's, it was super violent, right, you like take a gun around and shoot people. Cuz it's, it was super violent, right, you like take a gun around and shoot people. No more violent than any other shooter. No more violent than any other shooter. But very realistic. But very realistic. [SOUND] [SOUND] They set up this modified version of Half-Life two, where players could actually tag enemies. They set up this modified version of Half-Life two, where players could actually tag enemies. It was a much, G much more G-rated version of the game where you would tag enemies instead of shooting them with a gun, and then they would just disappear, right? It was a much, G much more G-rated version of the game where you would tag enemies instead of shooting them with a gun, and then they would just disappear, right? They would just turn into like sparkle farts or something like that? They would just turn into like sparkle farts or something like that? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So like, they took all the violent elements out of the game, and then they asked a group of kids to play it, right? So like, they took all the violent elements out of the game, and then they asked a group of kids to play it, right? The twist is that only some of the participants that were invited to play that game, were actually briefed on it, and given a tutorial beforehand, on how to play. The twist is that only some of the participants that were invited to play that game, were actually briefed on it, and given a tutorial beforehand, on how to play. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Right, and then they were given you know, a couple of hours to play the game. Right, and then they were given you know, a couple of hours to play the game. And in the end, the researchers found that those who felt less confident playing the passive game, were actually more aggressive after playing, than those who'd played the violent version of the game. And in the end, the researchers found that those who felt less confident playing the passive game, were actually more aggressive after playing, than those who'd played the violent version of the game. And how were they measuring aggression? And how were they measuring aggression? That's a good question, I don't know. That's a good question, I don't know. They didn't re, they didn't reveal that in the study. They didn't re, they didn't reveal that in the study. Like, he just like strangled the puppy after he did it? Like, he just like strangled the puppy after he did it? Yeah, I'm sure it was like a survey right, like how, how aggressive you feel [CROSSTALK], do you feel angry or whatever. Yeah, I'm sure it was like a survey right, like how, how aggressive you feel [CROSSTALK], do you feel angry or whatever. See, I don't, I think that's such a flawed way to do it. See, I don't, I think that's such a flawed way to do it. Why? Why? Because, I, I think introducing, you know, and I, I'm not saying I have a better way to measure it. Because, I, I think introducing, you know, and I, I'm not saying I have a better way to measure it. Yeah. Yeah. But the second you are asked about the thing you're s, you're testing for [CROSSTALK], I think that compromises, yeah, it c, it compromises everything. But the second you are asked about the thing you're s, you're testing for [CROSSTALK], I think that compromises, yeah, it c, it compromises everything. Like, Justin do you feel aggressive right now? Like, Justin do you feel aggressive right now? Right. Right. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. And there's no empirical way to measure how much your blood is boiling and where that comes from. And there's no empirical way to measure how much your blood is boiling and where that comes from. Maybe there is. Maybe there is. Maybe there's like a, a freaking wire you could hook up to [CROSSTALK] Maybe there's like a, a freaking wire you could hook up to [CROSSTALK] Like a neurological thing? Like a neurological thing? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. Like a robocop style system [CROSSTALK] Like a robocop style system [CROSSTALK] Something like that. Something like that. That creates like a, I don't know, that kinda thing. That creates like a, I don't know, that kinda thing. But, I don't know anyway, the point is, the players felt like the frustrations from not knowing how to play the game, actually cause them to be more frustrated, and therefore more angry. But, I don't know anyway, the point is, the players felt like the frustrations from not knowing how to play the game, actually cause them to be more frustrated, and therefore more angry. Than than they would have had they known beforehand. Than than they would have had they known beforehand. Right. Right. So what do you think about that? So what do you think about that? I mean, do you think that, the desire to succeed at the game has more impact than the content itself? I mean, do you think that, the desire to succeed at the game has more impact than the content itself? [CROSSTALK] [CROSSTALK] Yeah. Yeah. I think the content's irrelevant. I think the content's irrelevant. I really do. I really do. And this is not the first study that's shown that. And this is not the first study that's shown that. I, I mean, and this is also, I want everyone to know, this is not a bad result. I, I mean, and this is also, I want everyone to know, this is not a bad result. No. No. This is like a very normal result. This is like a very normal result. Right. Right. Because the aggression that they're talking about, is no different than the aggression you get from watching your favorite team play a sport, or.

You know, it's a very wide, you know, range of stuff. You know what's funny, like, you know we talked about Flappy Bird a couple weeks ago, and that was making people go crazy with rage. You know what's funny, like, you know we talked about Flappy Bird a couple weeks ago, and that was making people go crazy with rage. Sure, sure. Sure, sure. People were raging all over the place because, that game was impossible to win, but there was zero violence in the game.

And, you know, people were saying it was ruining their lives, and making them go crazy, and feeling stressed out.

It's, too good of a game, there's no way [CROSSTALK] It's, too good of a game, there's no way [CROSSTALK] I play Counter-Strike, it is a great game [CROSSTALK] I play Counter-Strike, it is a great game [CROSSTALK] Fantastic Fantastic But, yeah, I mean, it doesn't really take out the argument that violent content causes violence in real life. But, yeah, I mean, it doesn't really take out the argument that violent content causes violence in real life. No, but it says that the content's irrelevant. No, but it says that the content's irrelevant. But it says that you can definitely feel violent because of the frustration from, you know, maybe a developer not making [CROSSTALK] But it says that you can definitely feel violent because of the frustration from, you know, maybe a developer not making [CROSSTALK] Aggression and violence are two different things, man. Aggression and violence are two different things, man. Yeah. Yeah. You know. You know. That's the, I think that's the part that [UNKNOWN] too. That's the, I think that's the part that [UNKNOWN] too. Right, like I'm super aggressive, but I haven't slapped you yet. Right, like I'm super aggressive, but I haven't slapped you yet. Right and like the [UNKNOWN], the question of whether or not you'd act out on that frustration, by taking it out on other people, that might be something different too. Right and like the [UNKNOWN], the question of whether or not you'd act out on that frustration, by taking it out on other people, that might be something different too. I think, and that will probably vary by person. I think, and that will probably vary by person. But that's the thing. But that's the thing. If you're, if you're a game developer, right, I mean, you don't wanna make a game too easy. If you're, if you're a game developer, right, I mean, you don't wanna make a game too easy. You don't wanna make it so hard that people get angry. You don't wanna make it so hard that people get angry. But that's sort of a natural thing, right? But that's sort of a natural thing, right?

If you're a developer, how do you go about making a game that's, you know, not gonna piss people off, and yet it's still challenging enough to be fun? If you're a developer, how do you go about making a game that's, you know, not gonna piss people off, and yet it's still challenging enough to be fun? Well, I, I don't have the answer to that.

The average price for that, within the city, say river to river, in Manhattan alone, for about ten bucks. That's great. That's great.

So Hoboken prices are a little cheaper. Hoboken, yes. Hoboken, yes. [LAUGH]. [LAUGH]. Alright, what, what do you, what do you wanna tackle next? Alright, what, what do you, what do you wanna tackle next? alright. alright. Let's talk about feeling aggressive after playing video games. Let's talk about feeling aggressive after playing video games. Okay. Okay. I wanna ask you about this, clearly I don't play a lot of games, so [CROSSTALK] I wanna ask you about this, clearly I don't play a lot of games, so [CROSSTALK] You don't and we've talked [CROSSTALK] this topic, we've the age old topic. You don't and we've talked [CROSSTALK] this topic, we've the age old topic. Yeah, the age old topic, do video games beget aggressive behavior? Yeah, the age old topic, do video games beget aggressive behavior? Right Right And the answer is yes. And the answer is yes. But not because of the violent content, and that's what this study is proposing. But not because of the violent content, and that's what this study is proposing. The researchers over at The Oxford Internet Institute, which is actually a place, I didn't realize you could study there. The researchers over at The Oxford Internet Institute, which is actually a place, I didn't realize you could study there. They're basically trying to conduct a study to figure out whether violence from video games and aggressive behavior is caused by the content itself, or game play mechanics. They're basically trying to conduct a study to figure out whether violence from video games and aggressive behavior is caused by the content itself, or game play mechanics. So this is kind of interesting to do this. So this is kind of interesting to do this. They set up this study where they set up a modified version of Half-Life two, right. They set up this study where they set up a modified version of Half-Life two, right. It's Half-LIfe two, you can explain this better than I can. It's Half-LIfe two, you can explain this better than I can. It's a first, it's a classic first person shooter that's like 11 years old. It's a first, it's a classic first person shooter that's like 11 years old. Yeah, a first person shooter game, but it sort of heralded like that question. Yeah, a first person shooter game, but it sort of heralded like that question. Cuz it's, it was super violent, right, you like take a gun around and shoot people. Cuz it's, it was super violent, right, you like take a gun around and shoot people. No more violent than any other shooter. No more violent than any other shooter. But very realistic. But very realistic. [SOUND] [SOUND] They set up this modified version of Half-Life two, where players could actually tag enemies. They set up this modified version of Half-Life two, where players could actually tag enemies. It was a much, G much more G-rated version of the game where you would tag enemies instead of shooting them with a gun, and then they would just disappear, right? It was a much, G much more G-rated version of the game where you would tag enemies instead of shooting them with a gun, and then they would just disappear, right? They would just turn into like sparkle farts or something like that? They would just turn into like sparkle farts or something like that? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So like, they took all the violent elements out of the game, and then they asked a group of kids to play it, right? So like, they took all the violent elements out of the game, and then they asked a group of kids to play it, right? The twist is that only some of the participants that were invited to play that game, were actually briefed on it, and given a tutorial beforehand, on how to play. The twist is that only some of the participants that were invited to play that game, were actually briefed on it, and given a tutorial beforehand, on how to play. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Right, and then they were given you know, a couple of hours to play the game. Right, and then they were given you know, a couple of hours to play the game. And in the end, the researchers found that those who felt less confident playing the passive game, were actually more aggressive after playing, than those who'd played the violent version of the game. And in the end, the researchers found that those who felt less confident playing the passive game, were actually more aggressive after playing, than those who'd played the violent version of the game. And how were they measuring aggression? And how were they measuring aggression? That's a good question, I don't know. That's a good question, I don't know. They didn't re, they didn't reveal that in the study. They didn't re, they didn't reveal that in the study. Like, he just like strangled the puppy after he did it? Like, he just like strangled the puppy after he did it? Yeah, I'm sure it was like a survey right, like how, how aggressive you feel [CROSSTALK], do you feel angry or whatever. Yeah, I'm sure it was like a survey right, like how, how aggressive you feel [CROSSTALK], do you feel angry or whatever. See, I don't, I think that's such a flawed way to do it. See, I don't, I think that's such a flawed way to do it. Why? Why? Because, I, I think introducing, you know, and I, I'm not saying I have a better way to measure it. Because, I, I think introducing, you know, and I, I'm not saying I have a better way to measure it. Yeah. Yeah. But the second you are asked about the thing you're s, you're testing for [CROSSTALK], I think that compromises, yeah, it c, it compromises everything.

And there's no empirical way to measure how much your blood is boiling and where that comes from. And there's no empirical way to measure how much your blood is boiling and where that comes from.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. Like a robocop style system [CROSSTALK] Like a robocop style system [CROSSTALK] Something like that. Something like that. That creates like a, I don't know, that kinda thing. That creates like a, I don't know, that kinda thing. But, I don't know anyway, the point is, the players felt like the frustrations from not knowing how to play the game, actually cause them to be more frustrated, and therefore more angry. But, I don't know anyway, the point is, the players felt like the frustrations from not knowing how to play the game, actually cause them to be more frustrated, and therefore more angry. Than than they would have had they known beforehand. Than than they would have had they known beforehand. Right. Right. So what do you think about that? So what do you think about that? I mean, do you think that, the desire to succeed at the game has more impact than the content itself? I mean, do you think that, the desire to succeed at the game has more impact than the content itself? [CROSSTALK] [CROSSTALK] Yeah. Yeah. I think the content's irrelevant. I think the content's irrelevant. I really do. I really do. And this is not the first study that's shown that. And this is not the first study that's shown that. I, I mean, and this is also, I want everyone to know, this is not a bad result. I, I mean, and this is also, I want everyone to know, this is not a bad result. No. No. This is like a very normal result. This is like a very normal result. Right. Right. Because the aggression that they're talking about, is no different than the aggression you get from watching your favorite team play a sport, or.

You know, it's a very wide, you know, range of stuff. You know what's funny, like, you know we talked about Flappy Bird a couple weeks ago, and that was making people go crazy with rage. You know what's funny, like, you know we talked about Flappy Bird a couple weeks ago, and that was making people go crazy with rage. Sure, sure. Sure, sure. People were raging all over the place because, that game was impossible to win, but there was zero violence in the game. People were raging all over the place because, that game was impossible to win, but there was zero violence in the game. Right. Right. And, you know, people were saying it was ruining their lives, and making them go crazy, and feeling stressed out. And, you know, people were saying it was ruining their lives, and making them go crazy, and feeling stressed out. Half-Life two's never ruined anyone's life. Half-Life two's never ruined anyone's life. Well, that's questionable. Well, that's questionable. It's, too good of a game, there's no way [CROSSTALK] It's, too good of a game, there's no way [CROSSTALK] I play Counter-Strike, it is a great game [CROSSTALK] I play Counter-Strike, it is a great game [CROSSTALK] Fantastic Fantastic But, yeah, I mean, it doesn't really take out the argument that violent content causes violence in real life. But, yeah, I mean, it doesn't really take out the argument that violent content causes violence in real life. No, but it says that the content's irrelevant. No, but it says that the content's irrelevant. But it says that you can definitely feel violent because of the frustration from, you know, maybe a developer not making [CROSSTALK] But it says that you can definitely feel violent because of the frustration from, you know, maybe a developer not making [CROSSTALK] Aggression and violence are two different things, man. Aggression and violence are two different things, man. Yeah. Yeah. You know. You know. That's the, I think that's the part that [UNKNOWN] too. That's the, I think that's the part that [UNKNOWN] too. Right, like I'm super aggressive, but I haven't slapped you yet. Right, like I'm super aggressive, but I haven't slapped you yet. Right and like the [UNKNOWN], the question of whether or not you'd act out on that frustration, by taking it out on other people, that might be something different too. Right and like the [UNKNOWN], the question of whether or not you'd act out on that frustration, by taking it out on other people, that might be something different too. I think, and that will probably vary by person. I think, and that will probably vary by person. But that's the thing. But that's the thing. If you're, if you're a game developer, right, I mean, you don't wanna make a game too easy. If you're, if you're a game developer, right, I mean, you don't wanna make a game too easy. You don't wanna make it so hard that people get angry. You don't wanna make it so hard that people get angry. But that's sort of a natural thing, right? But that's sort of a natural thing, right? Like the, a whole idea of a game is it should be hard enough. Like the, a whole idea of a game is it should be hard enough. To, to be challenging. To, to be challenging. Be challenging. Be challenging. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To be challenging. To be challenging. So, where is the middle ground here? So, where is the middle ground here? If you're a developer, how do you go about making a game that's, you know, not gonna piss people off, and yet it's still challenging enough to be fun?
